[ccp4bb] Crystal scoring sheets for iPhones/Pocket-PCs
Hi, I could be wrong, but I’m not aware of any servers that have tray inspection web pages designed for iPhones and Pocket-PCs, so I thought I’d try and make a web page with simple scoring sheets for such devices. I don’t own an iPhone myself, but the following web page seems to work well on a phone I tried out at an O2 store. Hope it’s of use to people who don't have a computer by their microscope. http://www.pageforaday.com/xtalwizard/fixed_order-i.html In response to a request, I’ve also allowed an option to include your custom screens. I’ve designed it so that you don’t need an account. P.S: I’ve read that you can’t print directly from an iPhone (though I assume you can either e-mail the data URL, or plug the phone into a computer with a printer). I’ve not tried the page out on a Pocket-PC, but I expect it will display reasonably well on these screens too (with JavaScript enabled), and I believe many of the newer Pocket-PCs allow wireless printing. Maybe Apple will release an appropriate iPhone update soon. Thanks _ Climb to the top of the charts!

Re: [ccp4bb] Crystal scoring sheets for iPhones/Pocket-PCs
Sounds great. You can jailbreak an iPhone/iPod touch and install a whole BSD subsystem on it. So printing should be possible at some point... This of course also suggests that iPod touch is a valid research expense ... William G.

Toys for crystallography: Maybe this could be filed under the same category as Johnny Chung Lee's Wii Remote projects a number of people here have mentioned about (though this certainly isn’t as cool as his “Minority Report” gloves or fake 3D-glasses)! Still, if Apple has it's way, in a year or two the iPod Touch will be as common in the science lab as an iPod is now. I suspect that if someone hasn't already, a LIMS will be adapted for hand held computers. P.S: From the log file, I’ve noticed a number of people trying this out on non-iPhone browsers. If you’d like to try it out on a non-iPhone/Pocket-PC computer, I would recommend using the following URL as it’s got a few more features (and a larger screen layout): http://www.pageforaday.com/xtalwizard/fixed_order.php (sans -i) Cheers!
